“It is just the normal progression of what we have been doing for years” said Gregory Frings, president of Solid Products, Inc.  “We have shipped thousands of containers all over the globe and we have been a private labeler for some of the world’s largest gypsum wallboard manufacturers.  We have been extremely fortunate to find the right partners that share our vision”.

Luis Sanabria the General Manager for Industrias SPI Venezuela, C.A. is excited about the new venture.  “We are excited to be manufacturing superior quality compounds.  Drywall usage is really in its infancy in Venezuela and we look forward to growing with the market.  It is a great position to be in, making the best compound available in the marketplace.”

SPI Venezuela intends to produce in excess of 10 million gallons annually.  The facility will not only supply material to Venezuela but intends to supply material throughout Latin America.

Pro Plaster Products, a longtime importer, wholesaler and retailer of professional drywall finishing materials, tools and accessories has begun manufacturing drywall finishing compounds in Australia. Perry Richardson, Pro Plasters’ Managing Director says, “This has been a long time coming. We have been importing compounds for over 15 years always with the idea that one day we would manufacture locally. Finally it has come to fruition.”

The facility is located just outside Brisbane. According to Richardson it is the result of an ongoing alliance with Solid Products, Inc. (SPI) of Richfield, WI USA. “We have imported Sudden Bond 4T for many years and 4T has become the industry benchmark, we are happy to now be producing that same quality product here. Our ongoing relationship with SPI will help us to expand our product offering and ensure quality.”

It is Pro’s intent to manufacture a complete line of drywall finishing products for wholesale and retail distribution throughout Austral Asia market. Inquiries can be directed to Perry Richardson at perryr@proplaster.com.au.
